I finally tried on the C60 Trident 300 (Black)...

Post by willg »

... And I am stunned. For the price, I genuinely cannot believe how nice it was. It looks fantastic in person.

Comparing against my Tudor BB58 (which may not be entirely fair), I found the bezel to be not as tight/nice on the clicks (but come on, the Tudor uses ceramic ball bearings), and I think the lume is less impressive (though the bezel lume is a nice touch, and I wasn't able to take it outside for a proper charge).

The model I tried was on a rubber strap, which was nice. I wish it was the bader bracelet because I really want to check that out, but I suspect it's pretty nice.

I am now putting this watch more seriously in my sights. I tried on the black thinking I only wanted the blue, but it looked so damn good I may need to get the black.

Bravo CW!

P.S. This was at a Red Bar Raleigh event which I only mention because I apparently missed the C-ward meet up in April. Darn! Next year.

The Pro 300 is very nice; I have a 42mm. If I didn’t already have other dive watches I’d even consider adding another color. Gotta have some restraint. :)

I don’t get it
Possibly a reference to the Tudor case being somewhat slab sided in comparison?
